Chapter 346

With Lord Lord Sima Di's precise guidance, it took about 1.0 minutes to return to their temporary residence.

Lord Lord Sima Di pushed the door open, panting, and found everything as usual.

It seems Garp hasn't come yet. But it doesn't matter even if they arrived early, Zoro can still...

"Lord Lord Sima Di, you're back." Usopp said.

He was teaching Merry to read at this time.

"Mm, I'm back."

"Eh? That's rare, that guy Zoro actually let you come back first."

"What are you saying, he didn't..."

Lord Lord Sima Di turned his head while speaking, but was stunned.

"He's gone!" Lord Lord Sima Di shouted. "How on earth did he manage to get lost even with someone leading the way!"

Zi Zi Zi Busheng saw Lord Lord Sima Di pushing the door in a panic and sensed something was wrong, put down the pudding he had snatched from Luffy's mouth, and locked himself in the wardrobe with a sprint speed of three seconds per hundred meters.

Damn it! How could he forget about Garp! Even if he could let go of his pirate grandson! He might not let go of him, a CP9 traitor and member of the Revolutionary Army!

Just as Zi Zi Zi Busheng slammed the wardrobe door shut, a *bang* came from behind Luffy, and a hole was punched directly through the wall.

"You... are the Straw Hat Pirates, right?"

Luffy's grandfather Garp made a brilliant entrance, incidentally teaching Luffy a lesson with a Fist of Love.

This time, everyone was far from being that surprised, all nodding silently, the word "Haki" appearing in their hearts.

However, the Red-Haired Shanks mentioned later in Garp's words still shocked everyone slightly.

It turned out that Luffy was actually connected to one of the Four Emperors.

Just after Garp finished talking about Shanks, he heard a commotion outside.

"Hmm? What's going on?" Garp looked toward the sound. "Oh... it's Luffy's companions, they are really aggressive! Hey, you two, go stop him."

"Yes!" Two voices answered with great momentum.

Zoro took the attack directly, noticing that the opponent used a very rare Kukri knife, so he paid special attention.

"Hey! Zoro! Wait! Don't mess around!" Luffy was afraid Zoro would get serious, so he hurriedly went out to stop him, but was kicked by another person.

Luffy barely dodged it.

This move is... Soru?

No matter how powerful these two were, they were still easily taken down by Luffy and Zoro.

Lord Lord Sima Di could hear a slight sound coming from the wardrobe. He guessed it must be that guy Zi Zi Zi Busheng who wanted to watch, but didn't dare to come out of the wardrobe because of Garp.

Garp laughed loudly, "Not an opponent at all!"

Lord Lord Sima Di took two steps forward and saw the two people who had changed significantly.

The pink-haired boy was Coby, and the yellow-haired boy was... eh? What was his name again?

Lord Lord Sima Di pinched his chin and thought seriously.

On the other side, Luffy and Zoro also easily remembered Coby, but couldn't remember the other person no matter what.

"It's me! It's me!" The yellow-haired boy shouted, pointing at his face.

Luffy and Zoro were both confused, completely unable to remember this guy.

"You can't remember, but Lord Lord Sima Di should remember me!" The yellow-haired boy walked two steps to Lord Lord Sima Di, took off his glasses, and leaned his face over.

"Ah! I know you!" Lord Lord Sima Di clapped his hands.

"That's great, you still remember me..." The yellow-haired boy shed tears of emotion.

"I know you! You are... you are... that trash son of the Navy who wears braces!" Lord Lord Sima Di said after holding it in for a long time.

The yellow-haired boy's tears of emotion flowed backward instantly.

Was that the impression he left in others' hearts?

"Then what's my name?" The yellow-haired boy held onto the last glimmer of hope.

"Sorry, I really can't remember, haha." Lord Lord Sima Di laughed awkwardly.

"My name is Helmeppo, Helmeppo! Remember it well!"

Helmeppo's heart shattered into thin rice porridge.

Old friends are gone, it's rare to reminisce.

A few people chatted about the current situation, while Vice Admiral Garp was resignedly repairing the wall—the trouble left behind after his "brilliant entrance."

Zi Zi Zi Busheng, squeezed in the wardrobe, felt as if there were countless cats scratching in his heart, wishing he could push the door open and witness these "acquaintances" with his own eyes. But his reason was warning him, you can't, you can't...

As Garp repaired the wall, he remembered some topics that shouldn't have been remembered.

"By the way, Luffy! I heard you met your father?"

In the short thirty seconds that followed, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon...

"Slow-witted" Garp patted his own head.

"Oops! It seems I shouldn't have said that! Then just pretend I didn't say it..."

All the Navy and Luffy and the others present were surprised, defeated by this cute Vice Admiral Garp.

"Forget it, since I've already said so much that I shouldn't have, I'll say a little more." Vice Admiral Garp said.

Lord Lord Sima Di was stunned inside, is there anything else?

Vice Admiral Garp turned to look at Lord Lord Sima Di, his expression serious.

"You are Luffy's Vice-Captain Lord Lord Sima Di, right?"

"Uh... ah, yes!" Lord Lord Sima Di answered in a panic.

Zi Zi Zi Busheng in the wardrobe also began to get nervous. Is this unreliable Vice Admiral Garp going to...

"You..."

"What?"

"...Do you want to join the Navy?"

Everyone was silent, their expressions all dumbfounded.

The most feared thing in the world is when the air suddenly becomes quiet.

Lord Lord Sima Di's brain circuit couldn't keep up with this cute Vice Admiral Garp. It took a long time before he thought to speak.

"Why... why?"

"Haha, no reason. Just find you quite pleasing to the eye. If you join the Navy, how about I grant you the position of Rear Admiral directly?" Garp threw out a big meat pie.

The highest rank in the Navy is Fleet Admiral, which is the Navy commander. Next are the three Admirals. Then there are the Vice Admirals, which is Garp's rank. And below Vice Admiral, there is Rear Admiral.

"Red Flag" X Drake among the Eleven Supernovas had a bounty of 220 million Berries, which was even higher than Law's bounty. Although his strength must have improved after becoming a pirate, one cannot deny the strength represented by a Navy Rear Admiral in the Navy.

If there are no accidents, every Navy Rear Admiral has at least the strength level of a bounty over 100 million.

The Straw Hat Pirates all stared tightly at Lord Lord Sima Di, waiting for his choice.

"I don't understand..." Lord Lord Sima Di thought for a while and said.

"What don't you understand?" Garp asked.

"It's common for Navy to defect and become pirates, but I've never heard of pirates becoming Navy." Lord Lord Sima Di gathered his courage and looked at Garp.

"That's right, that's right, Grandpa is simply making trouble!" Luffy nodded.

"You have no right to say others are making trouble!" All the Straw Hat members complained.

Garp laughed without caring: "Indeed, but that's others; if it's you, then it's no problem. And it's not like there haven't been pirates who became Navy in history. Besides... I trust your character since you can be Luffy's companion. Recommending you to become Navy is just a matter of convenience." Garp answered seriously. "And if you become Navy, you can also check those arrogant guys."

Arrogant guys...

This must refer to the Spades!

Garp really knew about the existence of those guys!

If that's the case, Lord Lord Sima Di joining the Navy would be equivalent to indicating that he had returned to the Spades. Whether it's the guys above in the Navy or the people in the Spades, they would be happy to see such a scene.

"Check those guys..." Lord Lord Sima Di repeated in a low voice.

Garp saying such things clearly meant he strongly disapproved of the existence of the Spades. If he really joined the Navy...

Garp saw Lord Lord Sima Di wavering and continued to increase the weight.

"If you choose to join the Navy, I am willing to lend you the Navy's power to complete what you want to complete. Others might not be able to do it, but you can... those guys are just muddy water, although it is very important muddy water."
